The handle is a substantial example of Victorian Revival design, featuring a spiraling "barley twist" shaft that terminates in a heavy, high-relief repoussé pommel decorated with intricate scrollwork and geometric motifs. Recently polished, the silver plating gleams beautifully while retaining just enough depth in the crevices to highlight the ornate casting.

This is a substantial piece with significant weight in the hand, marrying form and function. It is ideal for styling a coffee table stack, adding character to a bookshelf, or serving as a functional piece of "Dark Academia" decor.
